True to its name, 100% Pure Argan Oil Organic Moisturizing Oil contains nothing but natural argan oil. The claims for this product state "...when it comes to your body, there isn't much it can't do!" Who wouldn't be intrigued?



Like many non-fragrant plant oils (jojoba, almond and avocado, for example) argan oil contains a mix of beneficial compounds, such as moisturizing unsaturated fatty acids and squalene as well as antioxidant polyphenols, tocopherols, sterols, beta carotene, and vitamin E (Journal of Chemistry, 2013). As a single ingredient, argan oil has many benefits for skin. Still, for best results, we recommend using a product like this along with a well-rounded moisturizer or serum so you're also providing your skin with a nice array of other beneficial ingredients.


Argan oil (like many non-fragrant plant oils) is a rich source of fatty acids and antioxidants with many benefits for adding moisture to skin or hair, but we should note that there are alternatives at a lower cost. See our review of Acure Organics 100% Certified Argan Oil or Physicians Formula Argan Wear Ultra-Nourishing Argan Oil for two such examples.

Pros:

• Fragrance-free.
• Argan oil is a very good plant oil for dry skin anywhere on the body.

Cons:

• Expensive; you can get similar products from other brands at a fraction of the cost.
